Let trash these messy fire hazards


Tuesday • December 11, 2007

Letter from Lee Heng Kee

My weekly Sunday evening visits to Block 67, Circuit Road are always greeted by trash scattered along the corridor leading to the lift lobby. This is a serious fire hazard and the potential danger is heightened by those who smoke at the nearby benches.

With the recent Hougang fire and the Dover Road fire on Dec 9, surely the town council is not waiting for another fire before taking necessary action.

If the trash cannot be collected more frequently, can the bin be relocated away from the lift lobby? Public education programmes should also be conducted frequently to highlight the hazards of dumping rubbish along the corridors or walkways.
